We arrive in Chicago at 11 AM, enough time for me to have an excellent vegetable panini and soup for lunch and buy some good penne in marinara sauce to take onto the real train of this trip, the California Zephyr, which runs between Chicago and San Francisco.
- Role: journey waypoint
- In the article: The writer changes in Chicago, eats lunch and buys food for the long leg. She boards the California Zephyr, which she calls lovely, with double-decker cars.
- Why it matters: The pivot between the ordinary eastern train and the main western journey.
- Real vs. fictional: The diary says only that she changes trains in Chicago for the California Zephyr, which departs from Chicago Union Station.
